Nearly 60% of Americans take dietary supplements, but most people don’t know which ones are backed by real evidence and which may be ineffective or dangerous. In thisepisode, I break down Consumer Reports’ article on supplements worth considering and supplements to avoid, including magnesium, vitamin D,probiotics, protein powders, kratom, green tea extract, and more. I’ll discuss supplement safety, contamination risks, dosing concerns, drug interactions, and why “natural” does not always mean safe. I summarize the Consumer Reportsarticle titled “The Supplements That Could Actually Be Worth Trying” and give my opinions.
